DOUBLE PLOW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 11, 1908.

Application filed September 25.1907. Serial No. 394,572.

' stock embodying nove means for adjustably connecting the standards thereto. v

The primary object of the invention is to' design a plow stock which is strong and durable in its construction and which permits the plow point to be rigidly held at the desired position and inclination.

For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of thedetails lof construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a plow stock embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of one of the brackets and the plow standard connected thereto,

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

Specifically describing the present embodiment of the invention the numeral 1 designates the plow beam which may be of any conventional construction and is provided at its forward end with the usual clevis 2 while the handles 3 are applied to the rear ortion thereof. A bracket 4 projects lateral y from each side of the beam 1 Vat an intermediate point thereof, and the said brackets each comprise a side bar 5 having the forward end thereof extended inwardly as indicated at 6 and provided with an enlargement 7 fitting against the plow beam 1y and adjustably connected thereto by means of a bolt 8 or similar fastening member passing through a selected one of a series of openings 9. The rear end of the bracket 4 1s turned down- -wardly as indicated at 10 and provided with the laterally extended and horizontally disposed arm 11 the extremity of which is bent upwardly at 12 and bolted or otherwise rigidly connected to the plow beam Lydia .A plow standard 13 is supported by each 4of the bracket the of the brackets 4, the said standards being provided at their upper ends with the forwardly extending arms 14 the extremities of whichl are returned upon themselves as indicated at 15 to form vertical apertures loosely receiving the bolts 16 connecting the two arms of U-shape clips 17 secured to the side pieces 5 of the brackets. In mounting these U-shape clips 17 upon the brackets it will be observed that the latter embrace the side bars and are adjustably connected thereto by means of fastening members 18 engaging a selected one of a series of openings 19.

The rear portion of each of the arms 14 rests upon the lateral or horizontal bar 11 of the bracket and is adjustably clamped thereto, the clamping device comprising a plate 20 fitting over the upper edge of the arm 14 and secured to the lateral bar 11 by means of the bolts 21 located upon opposite sides of the arm and engaging selected openings in the said horizontal bar of the bracket.

With this construction it will be readily apparent that by removing the bolts 21 of the clamp the plow'standard can be swung pivotally upon the bolt 16 and adjusted laterally with respect to the plow beam, while by moving the clip 17 upon the side piece 5 low standard can be shifted either to the ront or rear as desired. It may also be mentioned that by passing the bolt 8 through the proper opening 9 the angle of the plow standard can be adjusted and the required inclination imparted to the plow point. In the preferred form of the invention one of the brackets 4 is mounted upon each side of the beam 1 and the bracket upon one side is arranged slightly in advance o the bracket upon the opposite side.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. In a plow, the combination of a beam, a bracket carried by the beam and comprising a side bar and a lateral bar, a standard provided with a forwardly extending arm disposed transversely with respect to the lateral bar and having the extremity thereof pivotally connected to the side bar of the bracket in advance of the lateral bar, and means for adjustably clamping the arm'to the lateral bar to hold the standard in the required position. 'I

2. In a plow, the combination of a beam, a bracket carried by the beam and comprising aside bar and a lateral bar, a standard provided with a forwardly extending arm disposed transversely with respect to the lateral bar, a member adjustably mounted upon the side bar of the bracket and pivotally connected to the extremity of the forwardly exe tending arm of the standard, and means for adjustably clamping the arm to the lateral bar to hold the standard in the required position.

3. In a plow, the combination of a beam, a bracket mounted upon the beam and comprising a side piece and lateral bar, a clip adjustably secured to the side piece, a clamp adjustably secured to the lateral bar, and a standard provided with an arm the extremity of which is connected to the clip, the said arm being engaged by the clamp.

4. In a plow, the combination of a beam, a

bracket comprising a sidepiece having oneJ end thereof adjustably connected to the beam while the opposite end is provided with a lateral bar secured to the beam, a clip adjustably mounted upon the side pieces of the bracket, an adjustable clamp supported by the lateral bar of the bracket, and a standard provided with an armv engaged by the adjustable clamp and having the extremity thereof pivotally connected to the before mentioned clip. l

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM L. SELMAN.
